A Short History of Masturbation (Patreon)

Just in time for my 29th birthday tomorrow (and Intelexual Media’s 6th birthday), here’s a video on a history of self pleasure! This is an entry of Let’s Talk About Sex History. The finale of Lexual Does The 80s will release in February!

PS:There are a number of books I used when writing this video, but I’m currently away from my office and will update this post when I get home. Most are mentioned by name in the video though.
